Thu Mar 23 202311:19Jed Lowrie Announces Retirement
Second baseman Jed Lowrie announced his retirement from professional baseball on Thursday, which included three different stints with the Oakland Athletics. Lowrie finishes his 14-year major-league career with a .257/.330/.406 slash line, .736 OPS, 121 home runs, 594 RBI, 590 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 5,196 regular season plate appearances and 1,307 games played. He spent half of his time in the big leagues playing for the A's, and his lone All-Star appearance came with Oakland in 2018, when he hit .267/.353/.448 with an .801 OPS, career-high 23 home runs, 99 RBI and 78 runs scored in 157 games. Lowrie also played for the Boston Red Sox, Houston Astros and New York Mets in his career.

Wed Aug 10 202216:54Jed Lowrie Designated For Assignment By A's
The Oakland Athletics designated veteran second baseman Jed Lowrie for assignment on Wednesday. The 38-year-old has had a rough year at the plate in Oakland, slashing just .180/.245/.263 with three home runs, 16 RBI, 14 runs scored and one stolen base in 184 plate appearances over 50 games played. In 139 games in 2021, Lowrie hit .245/.318/.398 with 14 home runs, 69 RBI and 55 runs scored in 512 plate appearances. At this point in his career, it's unlikely that another team will attempt to claim him off waivers, so there's a chance he'll either return to the A's or become a free agent.

Thu Jun 30 202218:50Cristian Pache Optioned, Jed Lowrie To Injured List
The Oakland Athletics optioned outfielder Cristian Pache to Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday and also placed infielder Jed Lowrie (shoulder) on the injured list. In corresponding moves, Adam Oller was optioned to Las Vegas, infielder Vimael Machin was called up, right-hander Adrian Martinez was called up to start against the Seattle Mariners on Thursday and Skye Bolt was reinstated from the injured list. Pache needs to work on his swing down in the minors after hitting .159 with two home runs, 13 RBI and one stolen base in 68 games in his first year in Oakland. Lowrie, meanwhile, has hit .185 with three long balls and 16 RBI in 151 at-bats. Bolt, who is starting in center field and batting sixth against Seattle Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert on Thursday, could see regular playing time in center now. Machin has had a breakout year in the minors and is worth a peek in deep mixed and AL-only leagues if he sees enough playing time around the infield.

Tue May 10 202211:30Jed Lowrie Remains Out For Game 1
Oakland Athletics second baseman Jed Lowrie (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday. It will be the fourth game in a row on the bench for Lowrie as he deals with lower back tightness. It remains to be seen if he'll return for the second game of the twin bill. Tony Kemp is starting at the keystone and is batting ninth for Game 1 on Tuesday against Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal. Kemp is a low-cost, low-upside DFS play, as he's hitting just .217 on the year with one home run, four RBI and two stolen bases in 92 at-bats. The switch-hitting Lowrie hasn't been any better, batting .200 with one homer, five RBI and one stolen base in his first 15 games of 2022.

Sun May 8 202212:09Jed Lowrie Scratched From Sunday's Lineup
Oakland Athletics infielder Jed Lowrie (undisclosed) was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Minnesota Twins. The reason Lowrie was scratched from Sunday's lineup is unknown at this time, and he's considered day-to-day. He was initially batting third and listed as the team's starting designated hitter for Sunday's contest. Lowrie is slashing .200/..275/.267 with one homer, five RBI, six runs, and a stolen base across 51 plate appearances in 2022. Bill McKinney is starting in left field and replaces Lowrie in the lineup, while Chad Pinder shifts from left to designated hitter in Sunday's game.

Thu Apr 14 202211:20Jed Lowrie Not Playing Thursday
Oakland Athletics second baseman Jed Lowrie is not in the starting lineup on Thursday. The switch-hitting infielder appears to be getting a normal day of rest in the matinee affair. Through four games, Lowrie has hit .250 (3-for-12) with one home run and four RBI in 14 plate appearances. Tony Kemp will start at the keystone and hit leadoff on Thursday against Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Josh Fleming. Kemp has very little power to speak of, but he's off to a good start in 23 plate appearances this year, going 7-for-21 with two RBI and three runs scored.

Sat Mar 26 202210:45Jed Lowrie Heads Back To Oakland
Free-agent second baseman Jed Lowrie re-signed with the Oakland Athletics on an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday. Lowrie ranked in the top 25% in hard-hit rate last year and will return to a team that he's already spent six years with at the major league level. The 37-year-old veteran switch-hitter was an All-Star with the A's in 2018 when he hit .267/.353/.448 with a career-high 23 home runs, 99 RBI and 78 runs scored in 680 plate appearances over 157 games. He played in only nine games with the New York Mets in 2019 due to injury and missed all of the shortened 2020 campaign. Lowrie bounced back to hit .245/.318/.398 with 14 homers and 69 RBI in 139 games for the A's in 2021.

Mon Sep 27 202109:05Elvis Andrus And Jed Lowrie Placed On Injured List
The Oakland Athletics placed both shortstop Elvis Andrus (leg) and second baseman Jed Lowrie (hand) on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Both players are done for the regular season and can be dropped in all redraft fantasy leagues. Andrus was diagnosed with a fractured left fibula in his lower leg. He suffered the injury while running the bases in Saturday's game. Lowrie, meanwhile, has a sprained right hand that has been bothering him all month, forcing him to only bat left-handed in September. The Athletics activated Sam Moll from the paternity list and called up Vimael Machin from Triple-A to fill the two open roster spots.

Mon Sep 20 202120:16Jed Lowrie Sitting Again
Oakland Athletics second baseman/designated hitter Jed Lowrie is not in the lineup for the fourth time in six games for Monday's matchup against the Seattle Mariners. The A's were facing a lefty in all of those games, so it's clear he's in a strict platoon. He's slashing .244/.317/.396 with 14 HRs over 135 games and has a .686 OPS against southpaws. Khris Davis will get his fourth start at DH in the past six games. Fantasy managers should ignore him in all leagues as he's hitting an ugly .200 over 34 games this year, and his power has all but disappeared with four long balls in his last 64 games across two seasons.

Thu Sep 16 202111:54Jed Lowrie Hits The Bench Thursday
Oakland Athletics second baseman/designated hitter Jed Lowrie is not in the lineup for Thursday's matchup against the Kansas City Royals. Lowrie is slashing .246/.321/.400 this year with 14 HRs, 68 RBI, and 55 runs over 131 games. However, he has just a .686 OPS off of lefties this season, so with left-hander Daniel Lynch on the hill, it wouldn't be a good matchup. Khris Davis will DH in Lowrie's place and bat fifth. He owns a .613 OPS with two home runs in 31 games this season. Davis is not the slugger he once was and can be left on the waiver wire in all leagues.

Sat Sep 11 202116:05Jed Lowrie Isn't In Saturday's Lineup
Oakland Athletics second baseman Jed Lowrie isn't starting on Saturday for a matchup with the Texas Rangers and left-hander Wes Benjamin. The 37-year-old is hitting .251 with a .326 on-base percentage and 14 home runs in 487 plate appearances this season. Instead, Josh Harrison is batting leadoff and starting at second base on Saturday. The veteran is hitting .292 with a .356 on-base percentage, eight home runs, and nine stolen bases in 481 plate appearances this season. If you're looking for help at second base, Harrison is a quality streaming option.

Thu Sep 2 202118:35Jed Lowrie Blasts Three-Run Bomb In Win At Detroit
Oakland Athletics second baseman Jed Lowrie went 1-for-2 with a three-run homer in a win over the Tigers on Thursday. Lowrie has been out of the lineup more often since the team acquired Josh Harrison at the trade deadline as Harrison, not Lowrie, has seen the bulk of the playing time at the keystone. Lowrie was the DH in this game, but was pinch-hit for by Khris Davis in the fourth inning. He's always a homer threat when he's in the lineup, but fantasy managers in redraft leagues can likely do better than Lowrie to fill the 2B spot.

Thu Aug 19 202114:20Jed Lowrie Absent From Lineup
Oakland Athletics second baseman Jed Lowrie heads to the bench for Thursday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Tony Kemp will replace him at second and bat eighth. Lowrie is in his third stint with the Athletics and has slashed .258/.333/.410 with 13 HRs, 62 RBI, and 50 runs across 114 games thus far. Lowrie is a deep league option for teams in need of a second baseman, producing above-average power and on-base skills while also hitting in the middle of the lineup. Fantasy managers should change their lineups accordingly.

Sun Aug 15 202113:27Jed Lowrie Resting Against Rangers
Oakland Athletics second baseman Jed Lowrie is getting a day off Sunday after a night game in the Cleveland heat took a lot out of the players, according to the San Jose Mercury News, citing manager Bob Melvin. Tony Kemp is playing second and batting eighth against the Texas Rangers, while Vimael Machin is at shortstop and hitting ninth. The 37-year-old Lowrie has been a solid asset this year in mixed fantasy leagues, slashing .258/.333/.413.

Thu Aug 12 202111:18Jed Lowrie Belts Three-Run Shot To Help Beat Cleveland
Oakland Athletics second baseman Jed Lowrie went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer in a win over the Indians on Wednesday. Lowrie added an additional run scored in the contest. The veteran second baseman has had a nice bounce-back season in Oakland as he's slashing .256/.333/.413 with 10 homers, 61 RBI, 50 runs while producing a 111 wRC+. He should continue to drive in plenty of runs batting cleanup behind on-base machines Mark Canha and Starling Marte. Lowrie is a start-worthy second baseman in fantasy with good matchups at Texas up next for the A's.

Sat Jul 31 202111:31Jed Lowrie Reaches Three Times In Win Over Angels
Oakland Athletics second baseman Jed Lowrie went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in a win over the Angels on Friday. Lowrie was the DH in this game as playing time will get tight in the Oakland infield thanks to the addition of Josh Harrison from Washington. It was Tony Kemp, however, that was at the keystone in this game as the 2B/OF hybrid no longer has a need to play left field with Starling Marte in town. Lowrie has been solid at times this season for fantasy with a .260/.330/.410 slash line and 11 homers, but he may not get enough playing time to justify a roster spot in most fantasy leagues moving forward.

The Padres tied it 1-all in the fourth when Jake Cronenworth was hit by a pitch, advanced to third on Machado’s double and scored on Tommy Pham’s sacrifice fly.
